One of the country’s leading pollsters has said that Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham represents Labour’s best hope of keeping Nigel Farage from Number 10
John Curtice claimed Keir Starmer “doesn’t have the skill set for Downing Street”. Sir John said Burnham had a “more extensive” popularity than other potential candidates, but said “there are many barriers in his way”
Curtis told the Independent that told The Independent that he believes that only Greater Manchester mayor Mr Burnham has the support within the Labour Party, and appeal to the wider electorate, to be an effective replacement for the beleaguered prime minister, whose future appears increasingly uncertain.
